GE, yes I recall hearing that on the radio too. I suppose I consider them and Ram Jam ‘heavy rock’, as I wasn’t a teenager yet at that time, so they were heavy to me. I suppose Black Sabbath might be a better example of mid-70s ‘heavy rock’... maybe.
p.s.
I was looking for recordings/versions of Ram Jam songs and came upon this. Recorded in a Texas prison in 1933, ‘Black Betty’ as sung by a negro chain gang... a real wow moment for me!

Cool
Yes Black Sabbath is / was the heavy rock example, one group I can speak about with authority.
Ah ok. I suspect you might have a couple of years on me. It always surprises me how just a few years can completely alter someone's musical knowledge and perspective. So yes, Black Sabbath were just before my musical coming of age, which I suppose occurred c.1977, right when punk broke onto the scene.
I have one ancient recollection though. Me, my sister, and her best friend Pippa having a day out at the Queensway ice rink in London. Now Pippa was truly HOT This guy skated up to her and tried chatting her up...
Him: Alright darling!?
Her: [doe-eyed innocent look, that would melt unlit candles from 100 paces]
Him: Hey what music are you into, do you like Black Sabbath?
Her: I've not heard of them, but I like The Wombles*.
Him: [stunned look, realises the pitch has terminally failed and skates off]

hehehe....
I have huge respect for Ozzy though. Sure he sings flat as a pancake, but he worked hard and 'played a great hand' in life.
